The 700 LB mass of the over 5 liter Jag V12 is a bit of a problem...
But, if you build one, they can make stinkin' big numbers. There's one up
my way punched out to over 6 liters and he makes over 600 ft/lb of torque!
It's in an E-type body, of course.
But the weight of the V12 is a pretty big deterrent in my book.
